First things first. I'd love to completely redo my kitchen and turn it into my dream kitchen but my bank account has made it clear that such a thing can not happen. So I'm counting my pennies and figuring out how I can change the hardware, add shelves, and some dramatic paper. In the future I'll update the counters and add a dishwasher. Then I'll hopefully solve the issue of the ill fitting refrigerator.

In trolling the internet a few months ago I came across this beautiful kitchen papered with the map of Paris. Just before this discovery, we had bought a large multi sheet print of the map for our wedding. But after seeing this kitchen, I decided that this would be the way to utilize the prints. Much like the apartment in Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless or Á Bout de Souffle, which I loved from the moment I first saw it. Seriously though, how chic is this kitchen? I know I'm not the only one with wall envy. You really can't go wrong with a map of Paris. I'm also loving other executions shown below.
